Duranar provides the highest performance available in an air dry coating

Fluorocarbon Polymers are recognised throughout the world as being the most stable resins known to man for providing protection against U.V. light. Its properties make it the best coating for aluminium and steel because of its resistance to the effects of weathering.

Comparison between Kynar - a resin that Duranar ADS is based on - and Acrylic, Polyester and Silicone Polyester paints

In 1981 Taiyo Steel, Japan made a test fence out of the south wall of a new plant they were building. They wanted to test the weatherability of Taiyo Steel's precoated metal products. Fourteen years later Kynar 500 resin-based coating was the only system that kept its original appearance

PPG warrants colour and gloss retention

PPG warranties include requirements for a standard "maintenance schedule" at intervals of typically 1 to 2 years compared to 3 to 4 months for manufacturers of standard architecture coatings.
